Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022672 titled 'Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a printing device that has a memory to store audio files related to printing device events. It also has a communications interface to connect with an audio device. The processor in the device is responsible for retrieving the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory and transmitting it to the audio device via the communications interface.
- The printing device has a memory to store audio files for different printing device events.
- It has a communications interface to connect with an audio device.
- The processor retrieves the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory.
- The retrieved audio file is transmitted to the audio device through the communications interface.
Potential Applications:
- Enhancing user experience by providing audio feedback for printing device events.
- Assisting visually impaired users by providing audio notifications for printing device events.
- Enabling remote monitoring and troubleshooting of printing device events through audio feedback.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of audio feedback for printing device events.
- Difficulty for visually impaired users to receive notifications about printing device events.
- Limited ability to remotely monitor and troubleshoot printing device events.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience and convenience.
- Accessibility for visually impaired users.
- Enhanced remote monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
